Fire dispatcher to be promoted

DANBURY -- The City Council is expected to approve the promotion of a 14-year member of the Danbury Fire Department to the position of communications coordinator when it meets Tuesday.

Steve Rogers, a career firefighter since October 1999 and an emergency dispatcher for the last three years, was nominated for the promotion by Mayor Mark Boughton last week.

Rogers has been filling the post on an interim basis.

"Dispatcher Rogers has already made significant contributions to the Fire Department and community through his many roles and I am confident that his skill and dedication will continue to benefit the city," the mayor said.
